President’s Message – August 2025

Summer is in full swing at D20! We are thrilled to welcome Krista Garver to the Declarer team! Krista is from Portland and will be taking over the reins at the Declarer to keep you informed of district happenings. Thanks, Krista, for volunteering for this important role!

Summer is North American Pairs (NAP) qualifying season! You can qualify at your local club or in a NAP qualifying game online through August 31. Qualifying allows you to play in the online finals in October, which award red and gold masterpoints.

We are also looking forward to the Oregon Coast Regional in Seaside beginning September 29th! Did you know that it’s the 5th largest regional in the nation? We have events specifically for newer players, including 499er pairs and stratified gold rush pairs. New this year is bracketed pairs on Saturday! This format has recently been approved by ACBL — try it out! Pairs are divided into brackets of 9-12 tables based on average masterpoints, and you play against pairs in your bracket.

We look forward to seeing you in Seaside!
